A LAMENT FOR JUSTICE AND PROTECTION

Your Majesty

Today, I take this special opportunity

To thank you for the good life you have bestowed upon us.

Despite all the odds we have committed against you,

You still care for us. Thank you very much.

 

Abba Father,

You know that when you created man,

You gave peace, love and hope to him

You gave him the right and ownership of the properties

You also apportioned him land to live on

 

Through the Red Sea, the Israelites possessed the lands of Canaan

You made them conquer and own the lands as you had promised.

Reuben to Benjamin, you gave each a piece of land.

Through Secession, the same land you gave to South Sudan,

You apportioned it to the sixty-three-plus nations to live on,

 

Abba, Father

With different resources for each nation, you blessed them.

Others you gave oil, others you gave water,

Others you gave animals and others lands for agriculture,

While others doubled their blessings, only known to your sovereignty.

 

Abba Father,

I stand in the gap with my head down on my knees

Like dry seasoned grains, ready for harvest into the barns.

We are bleeding in pain from helplessness

Monsters are trampling upon the smallest land.

 

Look Father,

You have settled us with peace, where you wanted us to stay.

You gave us hands and minds to use the available resources

To develop and grow peacefully.

You gave us hearts of humility, hospitality,

Meant to coexist with others and nature harmoniously.

 

Listen God

We are being hunted and haunted by monsters

Monsters, you too gave places, abundant livestock and fertile lands

Far richer than we are, but hell rains through them

They have become idiots against their fellows

Breaking our smallest and poorest hope.  

 

Oh God,

What sins have we committed?

That shuts your eyes and ears from hearing

Is there no faithful one to answer his cry?  

Why do your people deserve the silence?

Are there no faithful enough to turn down your anger? Please hear our cries.

 

Almighty Father

We ask that your WILL be done today     

Pass down your judgment on the lands,

Send your hailstorms and strike the plague, for your glory

Let the people know your sovereignty

And if there be betrayers amongst the people,

Let your fire consume them

 

Our Father God,

We have seen your powers working through your divinity

We believe you have not travelled too far to answer others

We believed your eyes and ears are alive, but not counting our sins.

Please, do not turn your back towards this heavy request

Please help us out of a tragedy that has befallen our lands

All these we cry today and believe

 

Ayella

Ref: Psalm 13, 22, 88

MAGWI COUNTY UNDER CATTLE ATTACKS AGAIN.

    File Image July 11, 2025. To the Commissioner,  Magwi County Magwi County Maize Crops under Cattle Attack Again I am writing to inform you that Magwi County is once again facing an attack by cattle driven by the Dinka Balalo of Uganda. This is a direct result of an evacuation in response to the President's executive order aimed at stopping cattle-related conflicts in the Acholi region of Northern Uganda. As you may recall, the last conflict in Magwi County, which occurred in February, claimed lives and was not an isolated incident. Similar conflicts have recurred since 2014, when the Dinka Balalo from Bor forcefully entered Magwi County and the Equatoria region. Hon, you and the Magwi County community need to be aware of the potential resettlement of cattle in our lands. Our county's livelihood depends on its fertile soil, whereas the Dinka Balalo's survival relies on milk production. I urge you and your security team to remain vigilant and prevent any cattle ...

IN HIS FOOTSTEPS: The Characters of A Leader's Heart

Meta AI "This is a faithful saying: If a man desires the position of a bishop, he desires a good work." 1 Timothy 3:1-7 Devotion 10. July 10, 2025 God's Design for Leadership   God alone is omniscient and sovereign. He designed leadership with specific character traits, appointing humanity to steward the world on His behalf. As we progress through Scripture, we observe God's design for leadership and the character traits required of each individual.   For example, He denied Saul leadership despite the pressure from the people. He chose David from among Jesse's children because David met His criteria, possessing the character and qualities worthy of leadership. In leadership, there are specific characteristics that leaders must embody to lead God's people. Paul listed these qualities in his letter to Timothy, emphasizing integrity, humility, and servanthood as essential for leading the church of God.   The Contrast Between God's Design and the Worl...

ESTABLISH A SEPARATE AND INDEPENDENT DINKA KINGDOM WITHIN THEIR TERRITORIES.” Advocate Kenyi Advises President Kiir

Advocate & human rights lawyer Kenyi YA Kenyi said that Salva Kiir has long abandoned the national interest of South Sudan and instead chosen to pursue a narrow and divisive tribal agenda. From the time he was appointed deputy—based on tribal considerations—during the liberation struggle to all his subsequent roles within the regime, Kiir has consistently implemented policies that prioritize the interests of one ethnic group: the Jieng (Dinka), at the direct expense of the other 63 tribes of South Sudan.   Through his actions and appointments, he has systematically planted the seeds of division, ethnic discord, and mistrust among our people. Under his leadership, South Sudan—a sovereign nation built by the collective sacrifice of 64 tribes—has been reduced to what increasingly appears to be an absolute Jieng Kingdom, with Salva Kiir acting as its self-declared King.   If Kiir remains committed to advancing his tribal project, then we are left with no option but to gran...
